Soon You'll Be Able to Smell Like Madonna, Plus, Potentially Dangerous Baby Shampoo in This Week's Alluring Links

This week, we got a medical pedicure (a real thing!) and traced the divergent and convergent histories of glamour makeup (think red carpet) and fashion makeup (think runway). Here's what we were reading when we weren't considering the merits of shocking yellow eyeliner.

Whoa: Michelle Williams says her pixie cut is a memorial to Heath Ledger: "I cut it for the one straight man who has ever liked short hair and I wear it in memorial of somebody who really loved it." [Us]

Baby shampoo. It's so gentle. So sudsy. So...carcinogenic? Turns out, Johnson & Johnson does make an original baby shampoo without harmful chemicals...but they don't sell it in the United States yet (they do, however, sell it overseas). The company says they're gradually phasing out the use of two chemicals linked to cancer, dioxane and quaternium-15 (which releases formaldehyde). Johnson's Naturals, available in the U.S., does not contain dioxane. [NY Daily News]

Surprisingly enough this hasn't happened already: Madonna has created her first fragrance, Truth or Dare, with Coty, saying she was inspired by the tuberose and gardenia scent worn by her mother. It will be available next year, and we can... spritz for the very first time. [Vogue UK]

A new laser procedure can make your brown eyes blue. Totally weird. Am I wildly underestimating the lure of blue eyes by believing that this won't be popular? Who hates their brown eyes that much? [Jezebel]

Hm, well only seven percent of women are happy with their hair, according to a Dove survey. But more alarming to me, after a week of insomnia, is that 35 percent of women would spend extra time on their hair over getting extra sleep. Fools! You know not what you waste! [Yahoo Shine]

Tea Leoni says she's afraid to get Botox because she knows she would look better and become obsessed with it. That's a refreshingly new take. Check out her full interview with makeup artist Tina Turnbow at the link. [T Magazine]

Sugary sweet perfumes and lotions are icky, but I let my "no dessert smells in my beauty products" rule bend for flavored gloss—especially for Girl Scout cookie-flavored gloss. I gotta try the Thin Mints and the Coconut Caramel Stripes Lip Smackers. But the Peanut Butter and Chocolate Peanut Butter flavors are a no-go for me. Peanut butter is not a smell I'd want on my lips all day. What do you think? [Glamour's The Girls in the Beauty Dept.]
